MegaBots Giant Robot Fight Set for August 2017 – Robotics Trends

It’s been a long time coming, but MegaBots is finally releasing more details about its giant robot duel with Japan.

The fight is confirmed for August 2017. MegaBots to this point hasn’t released the exact date, which makes us a bit skeptical, and it’s also keeping the location secret so “there will be no more delays.” MegaBots says the fight will be streamed live on both MegaBots’ and Suidobashi Heavy Industries‘s YouTube channels.

Here’s the MegaBots statement: “Doing this the right way took a year longer to plan and coordinate than we wanted, for a bunch of reasons. We’re keeping the location secret so we can guarantee there will be no more delays. Keep an eye out for more updates about the Mk.III and the Giant Robot Duel soon!”

MegaBots teased the Mk. III in December 2016 with the following video:
